Using tampons...?
Answers: Well you inevitability to talk to your mother sometime, right? Just vote that you are thinking about using tampons or call for to start using tampons because swimming is coming up in institution. If she is rude or just doesn't do it than at tiniest you tried with your mother close to any girl would have and simply shift buy tampons yourself. Most stores have tampons resembling ShoppersDrugMart, Walmart, etc.
For an easy 'insert' buy the Playtex tampons, graceful slip in.
Goodluck~!
i would buy them myself...in that not expensive could you buy your own? There's no medical reason why you can't use them, I used them from my exceptionally first period and never looked vertebrae. If you can't buy your own all the time, try buying a few and departing them in the bathroom so your mom see you use them, then possibly go shopping beside her and put them in the pushcart and just say aloud 'mom i need some more of these'.
If you are competent to buy them or get someone to buy them for you it's ok. Once you find the hang of it they can net like for a while easier at that time of the month. Buy junior tampons they are really thin and right for someone who is just starting out. Read the directions that come surrounded by the box they have lots of info. Don't worry--you don't stipulation to talk to your mother roughly tampons (unless you need her to buy them for you). Instead, you call for a mirror, and the instructions that come in tampon boxes, which you can also see here: http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/tampon.
There are also youtube video, it appears, on how to use tampons. Start with the "lite" tampons, which are smaller. If they soak, then move up to the "regular" category or "super" kind. Using the mirror, you'll see where on earth all your holes are, and where on earth to put the tampon. I would not recommend using a tampon with a cardboard applicator. Get one that have a plastic applicator. They're much easier to hold and push in.
Buy your own tampons, you dont entail her permission to use tampons, to be precise, if they work for you. If it is a money thing, merely tell her you stipulation tampons for school. I am sure she will recognize. If not, go to a friend and draw from some from her till you can get your own. Pads are gross, I know. As far as swimming go in conservatory, I think you dont enjoy to swim if you are on your period, otherwise you risk contaminating the pool beside...well you know, and some thoroughly embarassing momnets can happen when on your extent and swimming cause tampons dont really backing in the hose, they will leak. Good luck. yeah i'm next to everyone here, just let somebody know your mother you need them for conservatory. She really can't argue with the cold intricate facts.
It may seem crushing speaking to her, but just say aloud, mom, im swimming at school so im going to hold to start using tampons. That 10 seconds of embarrasment will draw from you using tampons.

Lots of love and good luck! <3 x
If you really don't be aware of comfortable talking to your mom, buy the tampons yourself and next go see the arts school nurse or a female guidance counselor/teacher/etc. that you trust. She'll know how to explain to you how to use them.
Just saw your update. It's best then that you explain to your mom that you own to swim for school.
